My 82nd Birthday


November Friday the 13th, no less, was my 82nd birthday! Holly took me to Elizabeth's on 37th Street near downtown Savannah for dinner. This self portrait reflects my happiness with the love of my life!
The menu: Butternut Squash Soup, poured at the table over 4 shrimp in the bowl, a single muscle in a delicious sauce (muscle from Canada) and the entree, Grouper baked with pepper like crust, served over dollar sized sliced potato. Apple fennel on the side. All done with perfect presentations! And of course, Shiraz wine that was perfect. While this restaurant is expensive, it's the best restaurant in Savannah to take a date, partner or friend if you really want to impress! Excellent food and great wines!

Trailblazer Ride

In Savannah Georgia there is a road that leads to Tybee Island, a beach community at the very end of US 80, a cross country highway. A very dangerous road on the causeway leading to the island for bicyclist. This event was to raise money for the East Coast Greenway which eventually will be a bike/pedestrian trail for Maine to the Florida Keys. Promoted by the Savannah Bicycle Campaign, 150 people showed up to ride with a police escort from Tybee to Johnson Square in downtown Savannah, a 21 mile distance ridden by all types of cyclist.
More about this event that happened today:

Pictures below are SCAD bike club marshals, registration, Me and Pam, the riders ready to roll and on the road (Paul Wolff just ahead of people in yellow) on his Easy Rider bicycle, a Tybee City Councilman who had never ridden 21 miles! Paul is a politician who strongly believes in better bicycling!
